Guloseton was stretched on his sofa, gazing with upward eye at the beautiful Venus which hung above his hearth. "You are welcome, Pelham; I am worshipping my household divinity!" I prostrated myself on the opposite sofa, and made some answer to the classical epicure, which made us both laugh heartily. We then talked of pictures, painters, poets, the ancients, and Dr.
So saying, Guloseton filled my glass to the brim. He had sympathized with me I thought it, therefore, my duty to sympathize with him; nor did we part till the eyes of the bon vivant saw more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in the philosophy of the sober. Si ad honestatem nati sumus ea aut sola expetenda est, aut certe omni pondere gravior est habenda quam reliqua omnia. Tully. Cas.
"No," said I, "I love it not; it hath an under taste of sourness, and an upper of oil, which do not make harmony to my palate. But, as I was saying, the Whigs, on the contrary, pay the utmost deference to their partizans; and a man of fortune, rank, and parliamentary influence, might have all the power without the trouble of a leader." "Very likely," said Guloseton, drowsily.
However, in the world, it matters little what may be our real mood, the mask hides the bent brow and the writhing lip. Guloseton was stretched on his sofa, gazing with upward eye at the beautiful Venus which hung above his hearth. "You are welcome, Pelham; I am worshipping my household divinity!"
"What ho, Sir! what ho!" cried a shrill voice "for God's sake, don't ride over me before dinner, whatever you do after it!" I pulled up. "Ah, Lord Guloseton! how happy I am to see you; pray forgive my blindness, and my horse's stupidity." "'Tis an ill wind," answered the noble gourmand, "which blows nobody good.
Guloseton, who belonged to a very different set to that of the Almackians, insisted that his word was enough to bear his juvenile companion through. The ticket inspector was irate and obdurate, and having seldom or ever seen Lord Guloseton himself, paid very little respect to his authority.
"I wish," sighed Lord Dawton, as we were calculating our forces, "that we could gain over Lord Guloseton." "What, the facetious epicure?" said I. "The same," answered Dawton: "we want him as a dinner-giver; and, besides, he has four votes in the Lower House." "Well," said I, "he is indolent and independent it is not impossible." "Do you know him?" answered Dawton. "No:" said I. Dawton sighed.
Here the cook, by his skill and attention, anticipates our wishes in the happiest selection of the best dishes and decorations. "My dear, dear Sir," exclaimed Guloseton, with a kindred glow, "I discover in you a spirit similar to my own. Let us drink long life to the venerable Ude!" "I pledge you, with all my soul," said I, filling my glass to the brim.
Guloseton heard me with great attention and interest "Little," said he, kindly, "little as I care for these matters myself, I can feel for those who do: I wish I could serve you better than by advice. However, you cannot, I imagine, hesitate to accept Vincent's offer.
Guloseton overwhelmed me with his thanks. I remounted the stairs with him took every opportunity of ingratiating myself received an invitation to dinner on the following day, and left Willis's transported at the goodness of my fortune. At the hour of eight on the ensuing evening, I had just made my entrance into Lord Guloseton's drawing-room.
